Stop the presses, because an official Lego Game Boy is on the way.

Revealed via a surprise teaser trailer on the Lego and Nintendo social channels, this kit looks as if it'll recreate the original 1989 handheld in all its retro glory. The Lego Game Boy will arrive in October 2025.

Even though we don't know exactly how big the Lego Game Boy will be, or what it comes with, we can give it a good guess. Judging by those Lego studs on the d-pad, it'll weigh in at slightly under full size. The d-pad is three studs across, for example, and that's under an inch in length on other kits. This is a very similar approach to the previous NES set (sorry in advance to anyone hoping it'll be 1:1, like the proposed Lego PS2).

Will this kit come with anything? Almost certainly - based on past recreations, including the Lego Atari 2600, at least one or two game cartridges will come along for the ride. I wouldn't be surprised if iconic entries like Link's Awakening were present and correct, particularly with the recent Deku Tree set.

Either way, I'll keep a close eye on this; you'll be the first to know as soon as we get details.
